Jesse Torrey, Jr., (May 25, 1787 – ca. 1834) was a Philadelphia physician who gathered first-hand narratives by African Americans and eye-witness accounts by white observers of slavery and kidnapping. He published these, along with his personal observations, in an early anti-slavery book, A Portraiture of Slavery in the United States (Philadelphia, 1817). He also wrote juvenile guides to moral philosophy and natural history. In 1804, he established a free juvenile library in New York for boys and girls. He was born in New Lebanon, New York; his father was Jesse Torrey, and he had a brother, Royal Torrey.
